The moderating role of traumatic exposure and ICD-11 CPTSD on the association between couples conflicts and cyber dating violence
Theory and research show that exposure to trauma constitutes a central risk factor for perpetration of both intimate partner violence and cyber dating violence (CDV). However, no study has examined the specific response of the ICD-11 complex posttraumatic stress disorder – which includes both posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and disturbances in self-organization – on the perpetration of CDV. Moreover, no event-level research has examined thes…
Predicting Distress Among Young Adults
Purpose Emerging adulthood is characterized by uncertainty and the need for independence. The development of psychological distress may characterize this phase. One factor that has been found to induce stress is early exposure to trauma or violence. However, until now, the victim’s perspective—not the perpetrator’s—has been the focus of most research. Moreover, the cumulative combined contribution of traumatic event exposure and the perpetration …
Remarried military widows” grief in light of social policy upheavals
Military widows' remarriages and their consequences have scarcely been studied. We examined how legal changes enacted on behalf of remarried war widows, who regained their official rights after many years without them, impacted their life experience. Based upon 29 qualitative interviews, we found that the reinstatement of official recognition of widowhood validated participants' personal longitudinal grief but also revived painful loss-related fe…

Acculturation theory, cultural competency and learning from differences
There is a growing recognition that in an increasingly differentiated social environment it is important for social workers to be prepared to intervene in multi-diversified and multicultural contexts, so as to promote inclusion, respect and empowerment. On this account, mobility and full immersion programmes appear to contribute the most promising professional learning opportunities. However, full immersion programmes are emotionally and cognitiv…
Asylum Seekers in Israel
The challenges facing social workers in addressing the migration crisis are myriad and complex. Against this background, the current article presents a case study on the response of Israeli social work to the asylum seekers, which allows us to identify gaps between the social work profession’s global agenda and its implementation. The article examines how recent immigration policies have impacted Israeli social workers’ responses to these challen…
The Moderating Role of Resilience Resources and Sense of Belonging to the School Among Children and Adolescents in Continuous Traumatic Stress Situations
In the article, we propose a comprehensive model, which aims to enhance understanding of the contribution of sense of fear as a major response to continuous traumatic stress situations, and which addresses contextual factors as potential moderators of psychological distress and aggressive behavior. The research sample consisted of 1,290 children and adolescents living near a war zone, who filled out questionnaires relating to negative psychologic…
Life in a continuous traumatic situation
The literature is divided with regard to how older persons cope with traumatic situations of war and terror, and few studies have focused on continuous exposure to traumatic situations. To fill the gap in existing knowledge, the present study examined how older people cope with a continuous security threat which includes periods of intensive attacks. Three focus groups were conducted among older residents of rural localities situated near the Isr…
Therapeutic Intervention in a Continuous Shared Traumatic Reality
Growing political instability around the world has exposed an increasing number of communities to military conflict. Social workers and other mental health professionals who work as trauma workers, and who both live and practise within these communities, are doubly exposed: directly and indirectly, personally and professionally. The present study examined the consequences on trauma workers and on the therapeutic process itself of working in a con…
Social Work in the Context of an Ongoing Security Threat
In the wake of the recent increase in acts of terror and natural disasters, research literature has begun to focus more attention on situations in which trauma workers and their clients are simultaneously exposed to the same threat. However, less attention had been paid to the role of social workers in continuous shared traumatic situations. This article presents three case descriptions of events that emerged from social workers ‘under fire’. The…
What students’ Facebook posts teach us about the identity challenge in field placements abroad
Facebook is a common tool that enables students to publicly express their emotions, thoughts, experiences, and knowledge. On the assumption that the personal narratives of students can provide deep insights into their learning processes during practical training programs, the article presents content analyses of Facebook posts written by Israeli students who participated in an international social work field placement program in India. Content an…
Living in a continuous traumatic reality
This study is an exploration of the contribution of exposure to the continuous threat of Qassam rocket attacks to PTSD among elderly residents of urban and rural communities. Specifically, we examined the contribution of sociodemographic variables, psychological resources, and perceived social support to PTSD, and whether this relationship is mediated by cognitive appraisals. The sample consisted of 298 residents of 2 different communities: urban…
Post-Traumatic Stress in Social Work
Continuous exposure to life threats among different age groups in different types of communities
The current study compared levels of posttraumatic symptoms (PTS) resulting from continuous exposure to missile attacks among residents of 2 types of communities (urban vs. rural) in 2 different age groups (elderly persons vs. young adults). We also took into account the contribution of individual resources (sociodemographic variables) and community resources (type of community of residence and sense of belonging to the community). The results re…
Developing a social work curriculum on political conflict
This paper presents the findings from an innovative project funded by the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) and undertaken by an international team of academics investigating the development of a global curriculum for social work in the context of political conflict. Coupled alongside the emerging research and literature on the subject, our small-scale survey findings indicate support for the need for social work educato…
Field education in international social work
A critical review of current knowledge about international field education yielded four main conclusions. First, an unresolved debate exists relating to the meaning of international social work (ISW). Second, various motives drive students, faculty and professionals to participate in ISW. Third, developing a curriculum for ISW presents unique challenges. Fourth, four competing models of international field placement exist: (1) Independent/one-tim…
Perceptions of suicide and their impact on policy, discourse and welfare
In recent years, there has been an increase in suicide rates throughout the Western world. However, psycho-social responses to the problem are limited, as is public awareness of suicide and its consequences. This article presents findings from a survey on public attitudes toward suicide in Israel. The survey was conducted among a representative sample, and examined the extent to which the problem is a public priority for developing interventions …
Bridging the gap
The aim of this study is to examine the means by which men on the verge of retirement create continuity or bridges between their past and present in their autobiographical narratives. Based on Whitbourne's ‘lifespan construct model of adaptation’, 56 Israeli men on the verge of retirement were asked to relate their ‘life stories’ and ‘life scenarios’ (their vision of the future). Their bridging strategies were examined using qualitative structura…

Trauma Groups
Beginning with a brief review of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, the authors consider the role of group treatment of trauma. Several models of groups are discussed along with available research regarding efficacy. A discussion of the special dynamics of trauma groups and important considerations for group conducting follows and the issue of vicarious traumatization for the group conductor is addressed. A short discussion regarding the …
The Social Role of Social Work
Social workers are concerned with helping the poor and enabling people to use social and community resources. However, social work has abandoned its mission to help the poor and oppressed and to build communality. Instead, many social workers are devoting themselves to careers in psychotherapy. Social work schools should make more effort to promote social awareness as part of the curriculum. This article gives an account of an experimental progra…
